I saw Aquaman in Imax and in some ways this is a difficult movie for me to review. David, I think will like it because:

The Photography is just beautiful at times. The Special effects were done by Disney’s ILM so Disney has a hand in all Super-Heroes now!

Lots of Action sequences

The surround sound was great

If you like super-hero type movies, you will probably like this one. If you don’t, well, you won’t. There is nothing terribly original here and I did not feel any suspense or curiosity.

Small spoiler Alert section:
The movie opens with a demonstration of Aquaman’s powers. Then his origin is told, he is the son of an undersea Queen and an regular guy, which, of course, gives him the power to live underwater and to deflect bullets! Aquaman’s half-brother, a royal prince, is trying to consolidate the seven realms of Atlantis and have them attack the surface world. Guess who is in his way?

The actors seemed appropriate for their roles but I was often too busy looking at the scenery. The movie was not a waste of time, I do give it a thumbs up and parts were fun. If you don’t have a big screen at home, see this in the theater. If you do, the 4K will look spectacular. If you know what I mean, I have seen this movie before.

Barry’s Notes:
If is always common for comic book companies to copy the success of a competitor. Captain Marvel was a copy of Superman, Hawkeye a copy of Green Arrow, Quicksilver a copy of the Flash. Marvel’s first comic was published in 1939. In it was a tale by Bill Everett about the Sub-Mariner. It was very popular. So a couple of years later DC introduced Aquaman with a similar origin. (But Aquaman could talk to fish.) This movie lifts from the Sub-Mariner’s first revival story in Tales to Astonish #70 (1965); The Thor/Loki relationship and the trident here is a copy of Thor’s hammer.

It is better than Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman and Justice League. I give it a grade of a "C."

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 00:15:43 GMTI've seen the trailer for Holmes & Watson and even seen the main actors interviews on some of the entertainment shows. However, I just watched a news story that said that it could possibly be the worst film in history.

Will Ferrell and John C. Riely are not new to Hollywood. The duo has appeared in numerous movies including Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. Although these two have decent ratings, the new Holmes & Watson have scored the worst ratings ever on Rotten Tomatoes.

For the longest time, the film had a 0% score on the user-driven movie rating site. However, it has just risen to 5% as of this posting.

Has anyone seen this movie? With news stories about moviegoers walking out of theaters and comments like, "It's not as bad as people are saying. It's worse" and "It's an epic pile of cinematic disappointment." you just have to wonder.

We need an in-theater review. Who's going in and taking one for the forum? ;)

This story is just another hidden gem of our society and our history when it comes to race relations. From the perspective as a black American (me) I fully understand many of the issues that are covered in the film (including the Green book itself) most people have never heard of the Green Book nor seen one. I can say, that I have, but never fully understood its purpose until I became an adult. For me, being born the year before this true story took place was an reawakening of road trips with family members, and the reason why we would pack our own food and change drivers during our trips so not have to stop to rest. As a child I thought it was all about the adventure, but was never told or heard any complaints from my family about the reasons why we never stopped for food. Overall its a story of a true bond of friendship that develops between to people that actually have more in common then they think.
